Anyone that goes please let me know if they have Leica Pro 10x32 range finding binos in stock. If you happen to handle them and a pair of any of the 10x42 RF binos I would be curious about how much more compact and easy to handle they are. I’ll be going Wednesday.

I order Claybuster wads from them sometimes. Fair price and free shipping.

Anyone familiar with these folks: https://puremesquite.com? I was on the phone with them yesterday. They may become a THF advertiser. They contacted me back in 2019, but nothing ever materialized. I've never seen their stuff in person, but they told me yesterday that SCHEELS is one of their retailers.

They have some stuff for a lot of different sports. Not necessarily everything you may want for one particular sport. Pretty much carry only high end quality stuff. Your first impression may be that their prices are high, but remember you are only looking at the last two options in line compared to what Bass Pro carries. As stated above, the average employee there is both knowledgeable and helpful.
I wouldn't make a road trip there as a destination. But you will enjoy the visit.

I know very little about Scheels. I only ran in there once to get my hands on some binos to evaluate. I did not realize they carried higher end stuff. Good info to know and I will make a point to go in and check it out thoroughly. THF comes through once again with good little tidbits. Thanks.

I've been meaning to go, but keep forgetting.
I think there is one in The Colony over by North Dallas.
I'll hit it.
